To own a Scottish home is a dream for most people who aren’t lucky enough to live in our great country.

However, after looking at these images in the picture gallery above, you’ll be shocked.

From a pig in the living room to a man sitting on the toilet - these hilarious photos are a lesson in what NOT to show prospective buyers.

The shockingly funny photos reveal bizarre decor and renovations behind the doors of some homes and estate agents' poor attempts to sell them.

The collection was compiled by Andy Donaldson, a digital media manager from Aberdeen, who came up with the idea after he came across some awful images online while he was hunting for a new flat in London in 2013.

What started off as a joke between friends soon became a viral sensation after Andy started sharing the hilarious images on Tumblr, drawing in around 100,000 hits a day.

The 39-year-old said: "To begin with I spent a few hours a week searching for funny or bad images for the blog, but since it went viral I am now sent pictures from all over the world.

"I get up to around 100 new images each week - and I have more than 2,000 great images saved for publication."

"The intention of the blog is not to ridicule individual agents or agencies - it is a difficult job, and everyone makes mistakes sometimes," Andy said.

"But if an agent wants to complain about their photograph being used on my website, they would have to admit that it was their photograph, and I think the estate agents prefer to remain anonymous."

Andy has been sent photos from all over the UK, US, Canada, Europe, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and even Khazakstan.

He had a large enough collection to publish a book called Terrible Estate Agent Photos, published by Square Peg.

The UK version of Andy's book flew off the shelves over Christmas and sold out completely - and the US version is set for release in April.

He is also in the process of producing a 2016 calendar for release in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
